Fireside Chat

Many employers have looked to robotics and automation to fill labor gaps during and after the pandemic. Despite anecdotal accounts of its varied application across industries, trends appear to favor its increasing use. But can automation adequately and ultimately fill the growing labor gap given the demographic trends and other corresponding developments in Asia? Which industries and sectors are most likely to see this happen? What are the implications?

On October 12, join PAI’s Stephanie Bell, Susanne Bieller (International Federation of Robotics), and Michael Frank (Technology and geopolitics analyst and writer) for a fireside chat to discuss the role of AI, robotics and automation in shaping the future of work.
